Dave Woodhead is an Australian comedian and radio personality best known for hosting the Lunch program on national youth broadcaster Triple J since 2020. He is a Torres Strait Islander man originally from Darwin. [1]

Career

Dave Woodhead grew up in Darwin, [2] and started writing and performing comedy at 15, when he entered Melbourne's Class Clowns competition. [3] He worked on NITV children's show Thalu as well as comedy programs Black Comedy and Get Krack!n. [2]

In 2020, Woodhead began hosting Lunch on Triple J, taking over from Gen Fricker. [4] He had previously filled in for Breakfast during NAIDOC Week in July 2019. [4] Starting full-time broadcasting, he admittedly had "little to no experience on the radio and just got thrown into national breakfast radio." [2]

Woodhead has toured several stand-up shows around the country; in 2019, the Herald Sun wrote he has "real stage presence and a nice line in stoner comedy." [5]
